Predictors of Acute Kidney Injury and Mortality in Intensive Care Unit at a Teaching Tertiary Hospital_ID.
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimsDespite the increased rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) in intensive care units (ICU) and associated mortality, information on the epidemiology of AKI is sparse in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We investigated the rates and predictors of AKI and associated mortality in a tertiary ICU. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed 280 hospital records of patients admitted to the ICU at a tertiary teaching hospital who were aged ≥15 years from January 2017 to May 31, 2018. The outcome parameters of the study were rates of AKI in the ICU, associated risk factors, and mortalities. Acute kidney injury and ICU mortality were established by the multivariate logistic analysis.
resultsThe median age was 36 years (IQR 28, 52). The rate of AKI was 52.9%, and the presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and oliguria was 2.3-fold (0.004) and 4-fold (0.016) positive predictors of ICU-AKI, respectively. Male gender (0.003), diabetes mellitus (DM) (0.010), respiratory disease (0.001), inotropes (0.004), and ventilator support (0.017) were predictors for ICU mortality after controlling for confounders.
conclusionThe rate of AKI is significantly higher in a referral tertiary hospital in Zambia compared to developed countries and the presence of HIV and noncommunicable diseases such as DM impacts severely on outcomes.
